Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally high concentration of glucose in the blood. It occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin or when the body becomes resistant to it. Hyperglycemia can be both a short-term and long-term complication of diabetes, and can be dangerous if left untreated. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include increased thirst and urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and rapid breathing. Long-term effects of hyperglycemia can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney damage, and other serious health problems. Treatment usually involves lifestyle changes, such as increased physical activity, and medication.
